If you haven yet discovered the good news of the
gospel. Take a few minutes and discover below the wonderful truths
of God's Word about our relationship with God:
1. The Problem
of Sin
“All have sinned...”(Romans
3:23) In order truly understand the problem of
sin think back on your life. In the past how many people
have you wronged? Have you ever told a lie (even a white
lie)? Have you ever stolen something? If the answer is yes then
you are living proof of the problem of sin. For further explaination
click here.
2. The
Consequences of Sin
But why is sin a problem anyway? A little
sin is not enough to send you to hell is it? The truth is
that we serve a holy and just God. He has decreed that “The
wages of sin is death...” (Romans
6:23) This is the penalty for all sin, even the smallest forms.
When the Bible refers to death in this case it does not
mean mere physical death, it primarily refers to eternal death
and separation from God—an eternity in hell. Click

3. Jesus Paid
the Price
The Gospel does not end with the consequences
of sin. “For God so loved the world that he gave, his
only begotten son...” (John
3:16) Jesus Christ came “to give his life a ransom
for many.” (Matthew
20:28) He is the only “way, the truth, and the
life” (John
14:6), for he is the only "name under heaven given among
men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts
4:12) Need to know more? Click

4. Saving Faith
vs. Simple Belief (Count the Cost)
Jesus said “If any man will come after
me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me”
(Matthew
16:24). What does this mean? And why are there so many who
claim that the Christain life doesn't work after they have tried
it? Further, why do some appear to fall away from faith in Christ?

5. Freedom in
Christ!
Coming to Christ is not an emotional experience
(although it can be filled with emotion), but rather coming to
Christ is being willing to give up what ever he tells you in order
to follow him. It is placing your faith in Him and Him alone
for your salvation. It is asking Him to forgive you for
all your sins and claiming Him as the Lord of your life.
It means that you have faith in Him that He will do what he said
he will do. Though we may not always understand what is
going on around us we are always looking to him in faith.
What
about you my friend? Do you
you understand the problem that all of us face? Do you know
that it is only through Jesus that this problem can be fixed?
Do you have saving faith in Christ? Have you commited your life
to Christ? If not I urge you put your faith and trust in
Jesus Christ today. Pour out your heart to God. Tell
Him your need of a savior. Ask His pardon for your sins.
Accept Christ as the payent for your sins. Make Him the
Lord of your life!
Where do I go from here?
If you have just followed the above steps and recieved
Christ as your personal savior then you are now a member of the
body of Christ. An international fellowship of believers! Perhaps
the most important thing for you to do now is to get a copy of
the Bible and read it as often as you can. As you read seek to
apply everything that you learn to your life. Take the time to
read it through from cover to cover and then again! You can never
get enough of the Word of God.
Also, be sure to get in touch with a local church
that believes that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. Make
sure they are also seeking to apply God's Word to their lives,
never let someone tell you that the Bible is not true. It is the
only book that is without error. Remember, it was written by God
through men. He made sure they got it written down right!
